The background thread is here :

Following are the commands that I'm using to load files onto HBase :

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=`${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase classpath` ${HADOOP_HOME}/bin/hadoop 
jar ${HBASE_HOME}/hbase-0.94.6.1.jar importtsv '-Dimporttsv.separator=;' 
-Dimporttsv.columns=HBASE_ROW_KEY,PRODUCT_INFO:NAME,PRODUCT_INFO:CATEGORY,PRODUCT_INFO:GROUP,PRODUCT_INFO:COMPANY,PRODUCT_INFO:COST,PRODUCT_INFO:COLOR,PRODUCT_INFO:BLANK_COLUMN
 -Dimporttsv.bulk.output=hdfs://cldx-1139-1033:9000/hbase/storefileoutput_6 
PRODUCTS hdfs://cldx-1139-1033:9000/hbase/copiedFromLocal/product_6.txt

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=`${HBASE_HOME}/bin/hbase classpath` ${HADOOP_HOME}/bin/hadoop 
jar ${HBASE_HOME}/hbase-0.94.6.1.jar completebulkload 
hdfs://cldx-1139-1033:9000/hbase/storefileoutput_6 PRODUCTS

As seen, the text files to be loaded in HBase first need to be loaded on HDFS. 
Given our infrastructure constraints/limitations, I'm getting space issues. The 
data in the text files is around 20GB + replication is consuming a lot of DFS.

Is there a way wherein a text file can be loaded directly from the local file 
system onto HBase?
